Blurb:

Lin Xunzhi was blessed with an exceptionally beautiful face. His delicate features and slender frame gave him an air of fragility that always sparked people's protective instincts at just the right moment.

That also attracted many dangerously obsessive admirers.

At the same time, he suffered from a terrible illness. Lin Xunzhi had been to countless hospitals, but none of the doctors could explain his [illness].

He needed to be in a dangerous environment. For example, he might imagine that the doctor sitting across from him was there to kill him;

Or hang a sharp knife above his bed while he slept.

The moment he felt [safe], he would experience the agony of dying within half a minute.

**

At some point, a voice began speaking inside Lin Xunzhi's head.

It was the first to tell him it loved him.

It also promised to cure the young man's illness.

So Lin Xunzhi entered a [horror game], but it wasn't at all like the [horror games] he knew

“An ex-boyfriend who died two years ago, knocking at the door with nothing but bones”

“A male cross-dressing convenience store customer with bright nail polish”

“A gloomy, voyeuristic landlord living upstairs”

“A psychiatrist who cares far too much about him”

The young man's fanatical admirers had followed him into the game.

Their love was as heavy as a rising tide, keeping Lin Xunzhi in constant fear of drowning.

But Lin Xunzhi always accepted everything with a smile, turning their love into harmless intimacy and flirtation.

It was a long process of taming them.

As a patient who pursued danger and suffered from a strange illness

They were Lin Xunzhi's medicine.

This was Lin Xunzhi's paradise.

1. About the setting: A heart rate above 100 beats per minute is considered [dangerous], while 60 to 100 beats per minute is medically normal and therefore considered [safe].

2. All the love interests are fragments of Li.

The next book will be Not a Mermaid, a Sea Demon! Its blurb follows:

Lin Wubai died.

As a mermaid, he was served up as food at the table of Yu Pei, an A-rank male insect of the Empire.

Just one bite of mermaid flesh could turn even the lowest-ranked C-rank female insect into a rare and esteemed A-rank.

And Yu Pei was already an A-rank.

He had lured Lin Wubai out of the slums, and Lin Wubai had thought he had found true love.

But in the end, the scraps of bone and rotting flesh left behind were carelessly dumped in the slums' mass grave.

Everything returned to the beginning.

Then Lin Wubai came back to life;

To his surprise, he wasn't a mermaid at all

He was a member of the long-extinct sea demon race, the natural enemy of the insect race.

A fully matured sea demon could bewitch others with his voice;

And as the insect race's natural enemy, Lin Wubai could hunt them down as easily as breathing.

However, after being buried underground for so long, these abilities often made Lin Wubai's mental state unstable.

Revenge was expensive, and he also needed treatment for his mental instability, so Lin Wubai became a bounty hunter.

But the more jobs he took, the less money he earned. At last, Lin Wubai set his sights on [WING], the number-one name on the bounty board.

A naturally born S-rank male insect, arrogant and malicious, with an inexplicable connection to the royal family. He was the perfect match for Lin Wubai's stereotypical impression of the insect race.

But on his way to find him, Lin Wubai fell into a trap set by fellow bounty hunters who envied him.

So Lin Wubai got up, Lin Wubai took them out in one move, and then Lin Wubai's mind collapsed.

A passing man witnessed the whole thing.

This alley was on his way home.

Only this time, the man found a beautiful mermaid whose mind was on the verge of shattering.

He warmly and teasingly called Lin Wubai his ocean maiden and took him home.

Only when the man effortlessly suppressed Lin Wubai's terrifying, demonic mental power did Lin Wubai belatedly realize that he was [WING].

Even after his identity was exposed, Wing remained completely unruffled. He simply stood outside Lin Wubai's room, staring like a pervert at the scales and tail Lin Wubai couldn't retract.

“My dear ocean maiden,” Lin Wubai heard him say.

“If I help you get revenge, will you let me touch your fish tail?”

P.S.:

The term “ocean maiden” comes from the English words “mermaid” and “merfolk.” The word “mermaid” derives from the Old English words “mere” (sea) and “maid” (young woman), so mermaid can be translated as “ocean maiden.”
